It makes snake oil policies possible, nay likely, which is why the insurance industry is pushing for it so hard and not so they can lower their profits with increased competition.
Works like this: pick a state which is either super insurance-friendly, or in which the Insurance Commission can be littered with and headed by industry minions. Then bypass the insurance commissioners in any of the other 49 states, and have a friggin' field day profiting from unsuspecting consumers, by selling crap that their own insurance commission would not touch in a hundred years.
You. ARE. Being. Played.
This "snake oil" has not been evident in the nationwide sales of life, auto or homeowner's insurance policies because?
